I‘ve been thinking about how listening and paying attention to people is such a beautiful way to make them feel heard, thus connecting you two even deeper. When I tell someone something and they remember it, it makes me feel important, loved, noticed, special, etc. and I‘ve really been focusing on doing the same with everyone in my life. Even when it comes to gifts or plans too like if someone bases these things on what I’ve mentioned I want, it makes it that much more meaningful
i’ve always felt so comfortable being loud and being seen and being the center of attention. but damn... shutting up and genuinely listening to what everyone around you has to say is really awesome. you learn so much about who people truly are, rather than who they tell you they are.
i love when people rec something and take the time to talk about it. it is one of the things that makes this app experience feel so different from anything else, people being passionate about things for the sake of spreading joy.
